Overall in good condition. The leather is in well-preserved condition and has acquired a rich patina with age. The leather with some discoloration, minor surface wear, scratches and wrinkling throughout, mainly concentrated to the seats and consistent with age and gentle use. The leather with some wrinkling, inherent to the material. The iron surfaces with some light scuffing, very minor paint loss, and surface scratches throughout consistent with age and gentle use. The upper laced section of each backrest with some slight loosening to the leather lacing, stable and not visually distracting. An iconic pair of the model in well-preserved condition.
